Not protecting computers. Protecting the voyage.
Operations Continue
Navigation, propulsion, communications, and cargo keep operating even when individual systems fail or come under attack.
Decisions Remain Trusted
Bridge crews, operators, and autonomous systems keep making decisions using verified data — not manipulated information.
Evidence Already Exists
Every inspection, insurance renewal, and board review begins with documented evidence instead of emergency preparation.
Operational assurance means protecting the vessel’s ability to complete its mission — not simply protecting its computers.
Today’s vessel is a distributed operational platform.
It spans onboard systems, satellite communications, cloud services, port infrastructure, third-party vendors, and increasingly autonomous AI. The regulations did not create the problem — they are responding to it. That connectivity creates advantage, and new paths for disruption.
The greatest risks are no longer isolated mechanical failures.
They are connected digital failures that propagate across the vessel.

The safest vessels are designed to withstand failures across all six domains — not simply satisfy a compliance checklist.
The regulations are already in force. July 2027 is simply the implementation deadline.
Seven distinct cyber provisions already apply to MTSA-regulated and towing vessels. USCG inspectors cite each provision out of compliance as a separate count, every day it continues — before downtime, detention, and insurance fallout.
A single compromised device should never reach the bridge.
Every major maritime incident follows a path. Pelorus removes the path.
Pelorus establishes five operational assurances for every connected vessel.
Every capability, deployment path, and report on this page maps back to one or more. Together they turn a set of controls into a coherent operating architecture.
The vessel can operate.
Navigation, propulsion, communications, and cargo keep running even when individual systems fail or come under attack.
The crew can trust their data.
GPS & AIS spoofing detection with verified backup positioning, so every decision runs on verified data — not manipulated information.
Critical systems stay isolated.
Bridge, OT, CCTV, and crew networks physically separated so one compromised device cannot reach the rest.
Every action is provable.
Documented architecture mapped to all 7 USCG provisions — inspection-ready evidence produced continuously, not before an audit.
The architecture evolves.
Governance for autonomous and decision-support systems, applied through the AI governance framework from day one.
Not a control. An architecture.
Pelorus protects the mission, assures operations, and generates the evidence regulators, insurers, and boards require.
Free intelligence for maritime leaders.
Planning a new vessel, modernizing a fleet, or preparing for USCG inspections — start with the resources trusted by maritime operators.

Pelorus Deployment Blueprint
Maritime Operational Assurance Assessment
Inspection Readiness Roadmap
New build or existing fleet — there’s a path for both.
Security built in at the shipyard, or operational assurance brought to a fleet already on the water.
Security designed in at the build stage.
Pelorus embeds segmentation, OT isolation, and a USCG-ready compliance package into the vessel as it’s built — the cheapest, strongest place to do it.
- →Network architecture engineered into the build, not bolted on later
- →CySO designation, assessment, and Cybersecurity Plan as one package
- →Underwriter-ready evidence for better marine cyber terms
Already on the water? We bring assurance to you.
For vessels and facilities in service today, we layer segmentation, monitoring, and a USCG-ready plan onto what you operate — minimal disruption, no rip-and-replace.
- →Current-state assessment of your fleet as it stands
- →Retrofit segmentation and monitoring with operations running
- →Documentation mapped to all 7 provisions, ahead of July 2027
Built for maritime. Built for what’s next.
Built for Maritime
Designed specifically for connected vessels — not adapted from enterprise IT.
Built for Operations
Every recommendation supports navigation, propulsion, and mission continuity.
Built for Compliance
Inspection-ready evidence produced continuously — not assembled before an audit.
Built for AI
Governance for autonomous and decision-support systems from day one.
Built for Tomorrow
Designed for autonomous shipping, intelligent ports, and remote operations.
Compliance is today’s requirement. Operational assurance is tomorrow’s competitive advantage.
Tomorrow’s vessels will rely on autonomous navigation, AI-assisted operations, remote engineering, predictive maintenance, autonomous cargo handling, and intelligent port infrastructure.
Pelorus is engineered not only to satisfy today’s federal cybersecurity requirements — but to provide the operational assurance architecture required for tomorrow’s autonomous maritime ecosystem.
Securing a connected vessel is no longer enough. The future belongs to vessels whose digital operations can be trusted.
What owners and operators ask us.
Every voyage carries more than cargo.
Every vessel leaves port carrying people, cargo, reputation, contractual obligations, and operational risk. Pelorus is engineered to ensure they all arrive together.
